Oh good. More copy and paste. For the hard of thinking: It is possible we can all already see this stuff. Anyone who is interested in this share can probably access google if they can access ADVFN.

Mouchel Group Plc. : New coring system could save councils millions (21/03/2012)
03/21/2012 | 04:58am

21 March 2012

Infrastructure and business services group Mouchel's technology business and Oldham highways & engineering service have developed and piloted a new system that could not only improve the quality and durability of highways, but also save local authorities millions of pounds in associated maintenance costs.

The innovative system, which involves analysing coring samples from highways, is designed to test the quality of carriageway repairs undertaken by utility companies. Known in the industry as 'reinstatements', too often the quality of such work is sub-standard, placing a greater financial burden on local authorities who are forced to make further repairs in later years.

The recently completed pilot project in Oldham demonstrated a failure rate in excess of 80%. A similar failure rate across Greater Manchester would result in an estimated maintenance liability of £3.6m, with a potential national liability of £200m per year. This highlights the scale of the problem faced by almost all councils in managing and maintaining their highways assets.

If implemented, the cost of remedial works and the requirement to remedy underperformance could be placed upon the utilities companies responsible. The approach taken by Oldham has been recognised at a national level and has now been adopted as the basis for a wider Greater Manchester Highways Coring Programme.

Tracy Johnson, Principal Consultant for Consultancy Services at Mouchel said: "This approach to monitoring reinstatement quality signals a step change in highways asset management and issues a warning to utilities companies who are not adequately managing street works reinstatements.

"It establishes the potential for a new era in asset protection, ensuring that the highways asset is maintained in good condition and continues to perform as designed irrespective of the interventions undertaken by utilities companies during its lifetime."

David Nicholson, Client Services Director for Infrastructure Services and Highways & Engineering Director for Oldham said: "Our success in this project to date is a result of a lot of effort and collaborative team work. The ability to present a combined team drawing on strengths from across our business has done a great deal to raise our profile amongst our neighbours."

Councillor Bernard Judge, Deputy Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said "Now that the Utilities companies are working co-operatively with the Council [through our Partnership with Mouchel], we have reduced inconvenience for all parties - companies, the council and most importantly residents.

Good point.

Where's SALLY when we all need a bit of light relief?

'no profit for years'

May be, but not for so many years as it seems. The company got caught up in the middle east and had to write down money owed to them as, like many other compaanies, they were unsure of how much, if any, money they could hope to get back in the future. They also wrote off their involvement with cross rail (I think)and it was these write-downs that started off the current situation. If it weren't for the debt this is a profitable company. However, for us shareholders the previous management have brought the share price down to such a level that my husband's involvement in the sharesave scheme has little value.

[rayteuptetash] 21/3/2012 08:07

With Schroders dumping another 400-odd thousand shares what do the panel think?

Someone bought them. (Who's going to suggest Costain first?) ROFLMAO

[rayteuptetash] 20/3/2012 11:45

many must have bailed. very quiet on all the bb's now

[pikey01] 20/3/2012 10:42

Now, now. Why would *anyone* hide behind a silly username, er, "sally"? ROFL

[sally 1] 20/3/2012 10:31

pikey are you sure your not andrew wylie of costain in disguise you sure sound like him an arrogant knowall.

I planned to top up on any dips but didn't do so yesterday, because I couln't find any evidence that the present directors have shares, options,
or like incentives other than cash. The December press release (ADV 3302)
outlined cash performance incentives for Rumbles and Harris, but didn't mention shareholdings. In Sharescope, Michael Lyons is listed as holding 15.8K shares, a miniscule quantity, but none for the other new directors.
Does anyone know any different?

[whoppy] 20/3/2012 08:50

Half a million shares in the first hour.. geez, no further holding RNS after all the shares yesterday. Someone must be full to bursting. Would of thought a takeover is even more likely if the government go ahead with road privatisiation. MCHL has a great technical background here and anyone looking to purchase this ability will improve their chances of winning work. Mouchel's are held in high regard by the Highways Agency. I think even the banks will see this as positive for the future. So much money needs to be spent on roads and Mouchel's knowledge will be invaluable. imo

[rayteuptetash] 20/3/2012 07:34

Let's just hope the silence from the company is due to good things to report next week.

Not long to wait and we should start to see this slowly rise today. Yesterday was important news for Mouchel and as mentioned, they would have known about this in advance.

[pikey01] 20/3/2012 05:36

Thanks Henry for your words of wisdom. Well done with the capital letters too! Now you need to practice actual punctuation because that last post of yours isn't punctuated correctly *anywhere*.

You have "sentences" which don't start with capital letters, questions with no question mark, appalling spelling mistakes all over the place, misuse of upper case (again!!)... The list goes on.

I'm sure you have some incredible insight into share trading generally, and Mouchel specifically, however these insights are being lost or obscured by your dreadful posting "style".

Do you wear boxing gloves when you type?

[paragon157] 19/3/2012 23:44

Well said .. Lol

[rgjones] 19/3/2012 22:44

No, see previous posts and do some research for yourself might be the best idea?

[krp10] 19/3/2012 22:40

I hold quite lot of this. Is it a worrying situation now after yesterday's article ? could anybody advise ? Thanks..
